# PhishDestroy threat dossier — vagarewards.info ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-06 10:45:00 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vagarewards.info/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 92/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Airdrop ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: carter.ns.cloudflare.com, tori.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-02 Expires: 2027-05-02 Page title: VagaChain · Claim Your $VGB Allocation on XRPL ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-31 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 1b4a4f1f39f8960dbf94b4e43b6a6edb4d06eed5b915c8f1e2e8a01713ca5d49 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 22:15:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 20:27:36 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-06 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 12:18:56 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efb44-d26d-7413-b6b7-4d8f7a67af68/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/fb398e7d-80ef-440b-866a-c519430a2ec2 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vagarewards.info crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vagarewards.info Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vagarewards.info AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vagarewards.info URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vagarewards.info/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 22:24:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain has been identified as a crypto drainer impersonating a rewards program, likely targeting cryptocurrency users seeking promotional incentives. Analysis indicates that the infrastructure is designed to facilitate unauthorized fund transfers under the guise of legitimate reward claims. The domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 and leverages Cloudflare nameservers (carter.ns.cloudflare.com and tori.ns.cloudflare.com) for obfuscation and resilience against takedown efforts. The threat actor registered the domain through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on May 02, 2026, suggesting a recent and opportunistic campaign deployment. Infrastructure analysis reveals minimal detection at the time of assessment, with 5 out of 95 VirusTotal engines flagging the domain as malicious. This low detection rate is atypical for confirmed malicious domains and may indicate evasion tactics, such as the use of legitimate infrastructure providers or delayed malicious payload deployment. The domain remains active and has not been flagged by current blocklists, further enabling its operational longevity. The combination of recent registration, Cloudflare nameservers, and undetected status suggests a high-risk threat vector with potential for rapid expansion. Users who have visited this domain should immediately assess their cryptocurrency wallets and associated accounts for unauthorized transactions. If any suspicious activity is detected, affected parties should revoke wallet permissions, transfer remaining assets to a newly generated wallet address, and report the incident to relevant financial authorities. Users are advised to avoid interacting with unknown reward programs and to verify the legitimacy of promotional offers through official channels. Additional monitoring of network traffic for connections to 188.114.97.3 is recommended to identify potential compromise in organizational environments. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-B124BC Favicon MD5: 6d125878bfe1cea73d6e13a3dbb0c888 TLS cert SHA-256: 1b4a4f1f39f8960dbf94b4e43b6a6edb4d06eed5b915c8f1e2e8a01713ca5d49 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vagarewards.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vagarewards.info Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
